  *facepalm* don't put words in my mouth this sounds like a verbal circle jerk which I don't have any desire to be part of.

  If you want to believe something that makes you feel good and doesn't hurt anyone, then by all means knock yourself out. But don't try to enforce those fantstictical(often ridiculous) beliefs on others. If you want to follow a teaching that gives your life meaning, whatever.

  We should be making important decisions in life and as a society only based on things we can prove to be true.

  Also, love how they gotta keep telling themselves that they "Have the Troof" with articles like:

  Are You Convinced That You Have the Truth? Why?

  Some real winners here:

  Is it wrong to desire privileges in the congregation? Not at all. According to 1 Timothy 3:1 , “if a man is reaching out to be an overseer, he is desirous of a fine work.” Many Christian men apply that encouragement and make spiritual progress to qualify for privileges in the congregation.

  And if your kids have doubts, it's because they are lonely losers with no self esteem(wonderwhy???):

  5 In the meantime, though, what if your children begin to express doubts? How can you shepherd them and help them to see that serving Jehovah really is the best way of life and will contribute to their lasting happiness? Try to determine the underlying cause of their doubts. For example, does your son really disagree with Bible teachings, or does he just lack the confidence needed to defend them in front of his peers? Does your daughter really have an issue with the wisdom of God’s standards, or does she just feel lonely or excluded by others?

  so the rc really sucked, but i made it through.

  the propaganda was mind blowing.

  i don't know if the crap will be available on the official website or not, but hopefully it gets leaked somehow.

  I won't jump on the recommendation of getting on drugs to cope, you don't need them. You're going through a nearly impossible situation. You need coping skills and to de-stress and unplug. Walking is great and is better for you than popping a pill. Take up a hobby. Try not to depend too much on the drink either. I LOVE the above poster that said treat it like a kid wanting to go to Disneyland at 9pm lol. Good advice in general.

  my friend's daughter, who was baptized at 14, has decided to leave the witnesses.

  she's in her early 20's.

  she's stopped going to meeting a while ago and moved in with her father who is disfellowshipped.
